I bought them....and haven't eaten them!......

Fasting again today.

It isn't always easy, but it isn't as difficult as I thought it might be.

For example...take the packet of Mikado biscuit sticks I bought.

I was at the supermarket and saw the boxes on 'Special Offer' so I popped one into my basket. This was on Saturday. I wasn't planning on eating them on Saturday - that's one of my fast days, so I put them in the cupboard intending having them as a treat on Sunday.

Sunday came.....and went. I enjoyed some lovely rice pudding after my main meal, and then settled down for a spot of TV. After a while I remembered those biscuit sticks. Did I really want them? No, I wasn't that fussed to be honest - I might leave them until Monday.

Monday came....and went! I thought about the packet when I had a cup of tea - but decided I would prefer them later....and then forgot about them!

Tuesday came.....and went!!!!! I was engrossed in my knitting. I wanted to get the piece I was working on finished and ready for sewing up.....and so decided to leave those biscuit treats in the cupboard one more day!

Of course today came along - and it is my fast day!....I know they are in the cupboard - and would rather like one...but I know I can have them tomorrow!

That's almost a week! ...Always assuming I eat them tomorrow! :grin: ....Since when did I become the sort of person who can take or leave a treat when it is almost under my nose?!

Long may this resolve last!
